The San Diego Chargers are expected to look for a left tackle either in free agency or with their first-round draft choice. The team is not able to count on OT Jared Gaither because of his injury concern and likely will move on from him.

The San Diego Chargers are looking for a new general manager and head coach, but they are likely to be looking for a new left tackle, too. The team has not made it official, but OT Jared Gaither is not expected to be back in 2013. After Gaither sat out three games with a back issue no one could clearly diagnose, one veteran player said earlier in the season, "I can't even look him in the eye." Other players suspected Gaither was milking his back injury.
